- Competition: Spain - Segunda Division
- Date: Friday, 25th, April 2025
- Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20.30 CEST
- Venue: Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla (Cadiz)
On Friday night, two teams fighting to avoid relegation will clash at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla, with Cadiz hosting Sporting Gijon in a critical matchup in the 37th round of Segunda Division.
Although they graced LaLiga last season, Cadiz are now locked in a relegation battle in the Segunda Division, but are well on their way to survival as their 1-1 draw with Burgos last time out saw them strengthen their lead over the bottom four to a fairly healthy seven points.
Cadiz’s fellow strugglers Sporting Gijon gave themselves breathing space in the relegation fight by moving eight points above the danger line after an eye-catching 3-1 triumph at home over playoff-chasing Mirandes, so they are just a few more points away from mathematically removing any survival doubts.
Cadiz vs Sporting Gijon Betting Tips : DRAW
After a strong 3-1 triumph over Mirandes in their previous outing, Gijon have leapfrogged Cadiz in the lower reaches of the table and with just one point now separating them, we believe that gap is likely to remain unchanged as a draw would suit both sides aiming to keep a safe cushion above the relegation scrap. Despite enjoying home advantage, Cadiz are mired in an ugly run of form having picked up just two points from their last five second-tier outings (D2 L3), but a return to their own backyard at Nuevo Mirandilla could serve as a boost as they have been difficult to overcome there with only one loss suffered in their previous nine home fixtures. The 2-1 triumph over Eldense on their latest road trip marked their first successful away outing of 2025 in the Segunda Division, having previously endured a dry spell of six straight winless fixtures, four of which were decided without a winner. A draw has been a recurring theme in Gijon’s away fixtures this season with nine deadlocks already on the board, and we believe they could match Malaga’s tally of ten on Friday as there are clear indicators pointing that way given that four of their last six LL2 visits to Nuevo Mirandilla to face Cadiz have ended all square.

Sporting Gijon team news
Meanwhile, Sporting Gijon are facing a tougher situation squad-wise, with Eric Curbelo de la Fe and Jesus Bernal ruled out, while Gaspar Campos remains sidelined after missing five straight matches.
To make matters worse, coach Asier Garitano might have to cope without Carlos Dotor and Jordy Caicedo, as both players missed the last couple of matches due to injuries.
